Re: Turn & Bank Indicator
It is likely* powered by a self-reset circuit breaker mounted beneath/behind the panel…which looks like a small1-inch round black bakelite hockey-puck. It usually also powers the stall warning. Check to see if your stall warning horn/light works…. if so, it’s probably not the C.B. (On the other-hand...

Re: Thoughts on Upcoming Annual
Bob, here are pics of three types of aluminum axles…. several views of them. In the Top pic, you can see the two different styles of hollow on the right…versus the solid axle on the left. The very FIRST type of hollow axle issued (not pictured) had only AN5 bolts on all Four attach points….(all 4 ho...

Re: Thoughts on Upcoming Annual
Hollow $teel axles are certainly stronger than any aluminum axles…including the solid aluminum, so-called “ski” axles (which EveryOne should have at the very minimum. If anyone has hollow Aluminum axles they should replace them with either solid aluminum or hollow $teel.) However, Bob, I would not r...

Re: Memorial Day - the Most Expensive Holiday
Here’s some Memorial Day visuals… Imagine …you’re a conscripted soldier…told to sit on a wooden box in a throw-away wood-and-fabric glider … guided by a two-week-wonder glider-pilot…. to be towed and abandoned over unknown territory …hopefully to survive a once-in-a-lifetime landing on a non-airport...

Memorial Day - the Most Expensive Holiday
The real meaning of the Memorial-Day holiday is meant to honor all U.S. soldiers who have Died serving their country…. Who gave up the Most Precious Possession they had. (Veterans Day celebrates those who have Served.) Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day's history goes back to the Civil ...

Re: Tailwheel tie down ring - winch point
A full-stall landing will almost always result in the tailwheel touching down first,..at least it does when I attempt it with full flaps.

Re: Throttle repair question
That split-ring is for assembly during manufacture.
Yes, if you applied silicone that likely removed the friction the split-ring is intended to provide. Alcohol or electronic cleaner might restore it.

Re: Tailwheel tie down ring - winch point
MIles is describing the correct set-up angle of the “Kingpin” …. To avoid “shimmy”….the Kingpin angle should be as illustrated by the GREEN line… not the red lines. (one of the few times Green is Good on a 170) :lol: This angle is established by the tailwheel Main Leaf Spring. If yours is sagging, t...

Re: Cigarette Lighter
The “cigarette” lighter SOCKET is made of two parts (I’m not discussing the heater-element which originally plugged-into the socket and which almost no one uses anymore) The two parts are the “socket” and the “Socket case” The Socket is threaded into the case. Simply disconnect the wiring, then gras...

Re: Had a bad day, need parts
Thank you for the advice, I’m SN 20299 and I do have the dog house/clam shell cowl. I think this will be one of the hardest parts to find or have made. I see the nose bowl on univair but the shaping of the top and bottom cowling will be tricky. Not promoting it….. but…might be an opportunity to con...

Re: Had a bad day, need parts
This is another chance to get the incorrect parts….. When you say you need parts for a ‘52 170-B… It ‘s better to use the Serial Number when shopping for parts. What popped out at me was your search for cowling. The cowling changed during the 1952 production-year…because by the end of that year…Cess...
